Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1.Download byond version 506.1244 as a zip file and extract it to the desktop, don't install BYOND in the normal directory, and don't have any version of BYOND installed at all.
2.Click here. byond://Xerse.RiseofHeroesSource
3.Install it and try to "Open" it to watch nothing happen.
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
Not Applicable
Expected Results:
Even if BYOND isn't installed, when you click "Join" on a game through the pager, the version of DS that's in the same folder is used and launched for use with the game.
I would expect similar behavior opening for example the RoH source in Dream Maker even if BYOND hasn't been installed normally.
Actual Results:Pressing Open results in nothing happening at all.
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?Every Time
In other games?Not Applicable
In other user accounts?Yes
On other computers?Yes
When does the problem NOT occur?Always/Untested if having BYOND installed with the .exe would help, but if it launches but launches the version you have normally instead of the one in the same directory it can make testing older versions for certain bugs harder, by having to launch stuff like Dream Maker separately by hand instead of being able to go through the pager normally.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
Untested
Workarounds:Unknown.
Superbike32 is referring to the Open button on the pager tab for hubs, rather than the "Open location/file" menu item - I'm able to do what he's trying to do without any issues, though.
